Hi,
My name is Volodymyr. Sorry, I don't know your name, but I'd like to ask you about some issue.
Recently I got an Linux kernel panic on my system and submitted the patch to prevent it here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/192079/.
Before that I found at one of the forum a thread that described a similar problem,
and you suggested the patch to fix it:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1326686.
I used your idea, and I would like to re-submit the path with your authorship.
Sorry, I must ask you before I've submitted the patch. I don't want to break your authorship.
Hi Volodymyr,
The patch which I suggested in the thread which you referenced was intended to debug the bug to find the real root cause of the issue. If in fact the WARN() is triggering on your 3.0 system, then there's a bug that we should be trying to fix.
Instead of using this patch to paper over the problem, I'd much rather see if we can figure out why jinode was NULL in the first place. Can you reliably reproduce this failure?
Regards,
- Ted
